Could the Los Angeles Rams take a swing on University of Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the NFL Draft later this month? The Rams currently have Matthew Stafford under center, so they don’t need a quarterback for 2024. However, Stafford is aging and has a checkered injury history, so Los Angeles may need to start thinking about the future at the position.

That means Los Angeles will have to trade u ..read more

The Los Angeles Rams just lost future Hall-of-Fame defensive lineman Aaron Donald to retirement, leaving a rather gaping hole along the team’s front seven. Of course, the Rams will probably never be able to actually replace Donald.
